jldorrington Posted April 9, 2007 Share Posted April 9, 2007 ehh i was gonna keep this off of here for reviews not because i didn't want reviews just for other reasons but its whatever now so please tell us what you think. the webset was done by PA and is hosted by Handcraft Market. love them and PA deals with me so well i'm suprised i haven't sent her running for the hills by now lolwww.leolilys.comETA: the pictures look like crap right now they have our old labels on them and we didn't have a lightbox so i did some really bad photoshop editing on them to make them look half decent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deb Posted April 9, 2007 Share Posted April 9, 2007 Jenn, I don't have time right now to go through your site page by page, but I have to tell you, I really like what I see so far! Beautiful site setup. I love the colors! My only suggestion (and that's all it is, a suggestion!!) would be to take the exclamation marks around "April Special" off on the main page. Not sure why it bothers me, but I think it takes away from the elegance of the page.Deb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jldorrington Posted April 9, 2007 Author Share Posted April 9, 2007 awesome thanx deb good idea i'll go do that now. i can see what you mean Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doris Posted April 9, 2007 Share Posted April 9, 2007 I think it looks OK. Some of the product descriptions look highlighted, but not all, and I think it looks a little odd. Also I have issues with the word "mommies", but maybe that's just me. Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dabbledoya Posted April 9, 2007 Share Posted April 9, 2007 Nice, neat site! And the pages load quickly (yes, I've got dial-up;))Just one typo noticed---on your scent description for vanilla, you've got an 'n' at the end of 'aroma'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arkangel Posted April 9, 2007 Share Posted April 9, 2007 Hi - I think it's a good start. I've been a graphic designer for the past 20 years and was going to reply to 'that other' website critique request until it got ridiculous - this one is a lot safer I think your name in the heading needs an apostrophe? I like your slogan.Also like the colors but can't help thinking I've seen this setup before? Do you have a hosting company that only lets you choose from so many layouts? It seems to me I saw this - maybe even from someone here. It had a black and white photo on the front page of someone looking at products or something. At any rate, it helps to be distinctive - this one really reminded me of the other I saw for bath and body products.The photos are pretty good once you click and enlarge them. Just a thought since you have photoshop. Maybe you could do a vignette look around the background to soften that stark white? That would make the page look a little less boxy. I don't see an address or phone number. I'd include both on the contact page and the phone number on every page. It makes you look more reputable. That sounded bad - I didn't mean that you weren't reputable - it's just that with everyone and their brother having websites now, people like to feel secure with their orders and have a real company they can contact.Don't forget to post sizes of your products (weights) plus ingredientsGuess that's it - please know that the above is meant as contsructive criticizm and I wish you the best of luck in your new venture!

jldorrington Posted April 9, 2007 Author Share Posted April 9, 2007 arkangel, thank you for your opinion we left the apostrophe out on purpose, but may consider adding it in not sure really like it the way it is with nothin there.the webset was designed specifically for us using out colors and the lily was used because of the name.i'll definitly add in the address and phone number but were waiting till we get our po box for our address right now since we work out of my house. i have no idea what a vingette is lol so i wouldn't even know where to begin with that but i'll look into it someone i know is awesome with photoshop so i might be able to get some help there.Deb, Thanx so much that looks great i'm assuming you don't mind if i use that if you don't want me to just let me know and i'll change it back but i really love what you wroteindy, isn't sharon the bestest so patient with us sometimes loleveryone who complimented thanx so much and feel free to point out any errors. a well put together website is a key part of our business and its very difficult to step outside your own box and critique your own work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TxSioux Posted April 10, 2007 Share Posted April 10, 2007 I really like it -- very clean & classy -- makes me (as a customer) think you have your 'stuff' together. PA did a great job. I understand what arkangel is saying about the apostrophe, but it's your call. I did a layout for a company called Paint Divas & we had to pull out an English Text to decide on the use of/lack of an apostrophe -- they didn't use it. In the same vein as Deb -- I think some of your wordage is a little rough & needs to be cleaned up, like on the homepage & the about us page. This is just nitpicking, but it sounds like a rough draft - the spoken thoughts, as opposed to the written word. Overall -- very nice, you should be proud.Susan.
